What you'll be doing
You'll run a discretionary G10 FX options book end to end: setting strategy, managing the Greeks and executing across listed and OTC markets. You'll work closely with traders, quant researchers and developers to improve pricing models, hedging and execution, with the aim of delivering strong risk-adjusted returns.
